Great -- I also saw the reviewboard patch for the offline status icons.

Yes, I found the layout manager -- was more commenting on the default look.  
I'll probably just wait a few days and see if I get used to the bold or not. :)

Right, I was talking about the layout manager.  (So that's what it's called!)  I 
know KMail does something vaguely similar-but-different, and I was thinking it 
would be great if other apps could add similar functionality with a minimum of 
fuss.  (Dolphin, Akregator and the address book all come to mind... dunno if 
they would be interested.)
